OF® 3DM BACTO-SAND

Beautifies and Enhances Water Quality!

OF® 3DM Bacto-Sand is a revolutionary man-made “sand” that functions as a beneficial bacteria sand-bed, allowing you to create a beautiful natural environment for your fishes while keeping your water clean! The macro-porous structure greatly boosts the beneficial bacteria population and increases the rate at which harmful toxins like Ammonia and Nitrite are broken down.

Crafted entirely using advanced manufacturing technology, Bacto-Sand’s rounded surface encourages water flow which prevents the build-up of harmful toxins in the sand-bed. Its rounded surface also makes it safe for the barbels of bottom-feeders like Corydoras, Loaches, etc. This sterilized and pH-neutral sand does not contain any impurities, making it 100% safe and 100% ready to use.

FEATURES

  • Reduces Ammonia and Nitrite. OF 3DM Bacto-Sand’s high overall effective BET surface area (1000m²/litre) helps create a beneficial bacteria sand-bed that provides ideal conditions for billions of Beneficial Bacteria that helps break down harmful toxins like Ammonia and Nitrite.
  • Minimizes Dead Spots. OF 3DM Bacto-Sand’s rounded surface encourages water flow in the sand-bed, greatly minimizing dead spots and the subsequent build-up of harmful toxins.
  • Bottom-Feeder Friendly. The rounded surface makes it safe for the barbels of bottom-feeders like Corydoras, Loaches, etc.
  • No cleaning required. 100% sterilized and free of impurities making it 100% safe and 100% ready to use.
  • pH Neutral. Does not affect pH levels.
  • Environmentally green product. An environmentally friendly alternative which replaces the need to harvest sand from nature.
